After a night of hard work, the matter finally came to a conclusion. The concubines returned to the palace, and only Zhen Huan and An Lingrong remained in Xianyue Pavilion to accompany Sister Mei.

Huanbi looked at the people in the room who were trustworthy and said her own guess: "My lady, I think the injured person found by Prince Guo is most likely Liu Bin. I guess someone bribed Liu Bin to frame Concubine Shen, and then wanted to kill her to silence her. I think we should find Prince Guo and ask him where the person he saved is. If that person is really Liu Bin, Concubine Shen will not have to be imprisoned unjustly."

Zhen Huan felt that Huanbi's analysis made sense, so she nodded, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she said:

"What Huanbi can think of, I'm afraid the person behind the scenes has also thought of it. Huanbi, you should go find Prince Guo and ask him where the person he saved is. We must find him before them, otherwise Liu Bin will be silenced. Otherwise, without witnesses, we will never be able to explain clearly."

Huanbi took the order and quickly left Xianyue Pavilion with Xiao Yunzi.

Sister Mei sat on a chair with dim eyes and pale lips. She couldn't help crying when she saw Huan'er and Lingrong worried about her. She thought the emperor would trust her unconditionally, but she didn't expect that today, just because she was framed by a maid, the emperor punished her with house arrest. She couldn't help but feel disheartened towards the emperor.

She held Zhen Huan and An Lingrong's hands and asked with some concern, "Prince Guo is far away from the inner palace and has never had any friendship with us. If you ask Huanbi to go find the prince, will he help us?"

Zhen Huan was also worried about this matter. Everyone knew that Prince Guo was an idle prince who didn't care about worldly affairs. Whether he was willing to lend a hand to them this time depended on what Huanbi said.

Although she was uncertain in her heart, she held Mei Jiejie's hand and comforted her: "Prince Guo is easy-going and has a noble character. He will surely lend a hand to this kind of good deed. Don't worry, sister."

An Lingrong also nodded unconsciously. Seeing Sister Mei's disheveled hair, she couldn't help but feel sad. She patted Sister Mei's hand and said, "Sister, Lingrong is incompetent and can't do anything. Sister's hair is messy. Lingrong, help sister comb it again!"

Mei Zhuang was both moved and sad. She was moved that her two good sisters stayed with her even when she was in trouble, and all they wanted was how to clear her of the grievances. She was sad that the emperor didn't have the slightest trust in her. It seemed that she had overestimated the relationship between her and the emperor.

She shook her head to reject Ling Rong's words, and murmured in a low voice: "Now besides you and Ling Rong, who else would come to my Xian Yue Pavilion? Why would you comb your hair?"

Zhen Huan frowned distressedly and said, "Sister, you have always been self-reliant and strong. Even if the emperor temporarily confines you, you should not give up on yourself. If you say this, won't those who harm us be more proud?"

"Yes, Sister Mei, the emperor has only temporarily confined you. Once the truth comes out, he will definitely clear your name."

"Now the three of us must cheer up and think carefully about who hurt Sister Mei."

Mei Zhuang frowned and said angrily: "It's Concubine Hua! It must be her!

The last time she pushed me into the water, when she saw that I admitted the misfortune, she must have thought that I was afraid of her and wanted to continue framing me, but I wouldn't say anything.

Huan'er, Lingrong, you are right. If I remain depressed, my loved ones will be sad and my enemies will be happy. I must cheer up. Lingrong, please comb my hair for me again."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan and Ling Rong looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

At night, Prince Guo was sitting at his desk reading a book when the sound of footsteps outside the door interrupted his thoughts.

A guard asked coldly, "Who are you? How dare you trespass here? Do you know who lives inside?"

Huanbi looked anxious. She took out a piece of silver and put it into the guard's hand. She whispered, "I am a maid in Concubine Hua's palace. Our queen asked me to find Prince Guo for something. Please, big guard, be kind and let me in."

The guard looked at the light in the room, stuffed the silver into his sleeve, and pushed Huanbi away. "If it weren't for the fact that you were from Concubine Hua's palace, I would have reported it to the emperor long ago. You'd better leave quickly. We can't afford to offend the prince if we both disturb him."

Huanbi was not giving up, so she took out another piece of silver and said, "Please let me in, big brother guard. I will leave after a few words. If I delay Madam Hua's business, I am afraid that Madam Hua will blame me. I am sure that big brother guard has heard about Madam Hua's temper. If this matter is accomplished with the help of big brother guard, will you still be afraid that you will not have a good life in the future?"

The guard was obviously persuaded by Huanbi. He tilted his head and thought for a moment. Seeing that there were no people around, he whispered to Huanbi: "Go in and say a few words and then leave."

Huanbi nodded heavily in agreement.

After entering the gate, Huanbi hurriedly walked towards the hall and saw Ah Jin from a distance. Huanbi quickened her pace and walked to Ah Jin's side and asked, "Has the prince gone to bed yet?"

Ah Jin knew that the prince and Huanbi were acquainted, so he smiled and replied, "The prince is still reading inside. What does the young lady want from the prince? I will go and tell him right away."

Huanbi smiled and nodded, thanking Ajin.

When Prince Guo heard that Huanbi was coming, he stood up from his chair, then realized that he had lost his composure, so he coughed, cleared his throat, and asked, "Where is Miss Huanbi?"

Ah Jin replied: "It's just outside the door."

Prince Guo said, "She must have something important to tell me so late at night. Please invite her in."

After a while, Huanbi came in. It was late at night and there were only two people in the room. Huanbi looked at the sleepy face of the prince and stared at him for a while.

"Huanbi, what do you want from me so late at night?" Prince Guo interrupted her.

Huanbi bowed and said to the prince, "I know that I am of humble status and should not have disturbed you. But it happened too suddenly, and you are the only one who can help our young master and Concubine Shen. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing you."

Prince Guo began to get anxious after hearing Huanbi's polite words, and raised his hand to ask her to stand up and speak.

"From Miss Huanbi's tone, it seems like something big has happened. Please let me know clearly so that I can find a way to help you... and the two young ladies."

Huanbi roughly told the prince what happened in Xianyue Pavilion tonight, and the prince immediately understood, "Do you think the person I saved is Liu Bin, and you want to find him to testify for Concubine Shen?"

Huanbi nodded, her eyes a little hesitant, "I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to help me. I know I have offended Your Majesty tonight. If Your Majesty has any difficulties and is not convenient to help, I can understand."

Prince Guo smiled and shook his head, then asked Ah Jin: "Where is the person I saved tonight now?"

Ah Jin replied, "That man was acting suspiciously, so I had him locked up in the western wing. The imperial physician just examined him, and he is probably sleeping now."

Prince Guo waved his hand and said, "Take me and Miss Huanbi with you."
